From Brad: "Rewrite the ti(4) man page a bit making it look closer
to the bge(4) man page. - Remove mentioning PCI for the type of Gigabit adapters at the top since there are also SBus adapters. - Shuffle the list of adapters and the description of the chipsets around so that the adapters list is further up the page and the description of the chipsets is further down the page. - Make the list of adapter entries consistent and only mention the media type. - Remove the bit about the Tigon 1 chipset no longer being in production. They're both no longer in production and I don't think this has much relevence in the man page. There are plenty of other Ethernet chipsets no longer in production as well."

.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
-driver provides support for PCI Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on
-the Alteon Networks Tigon Gigabit Ethernet controller chip.
-The Tigon contains an embedded R4000 CPU, Gigabit MAC, dual DMA channels and
-a PCI interface unit.
-The Tigon II contains two R4000 CPUs and other refinements.
-Either chip can be used in either a 32-bit or 64-bit PCI slot.
-Communication with the chip is achieved via PCI shared memory and
-bus master DMA.
-SBus cards are also available and use a special bridge chip.
-The Tigon I and II support hardware multicast address filtering,
-VLAN tag insertion and stripping, and Jumbo frame sizes up to
-9000 bytes.
-Note that the Tigon I chipset is no longer in active production: all new
-adapters should come equipped with Tigon II chipsets.
-.Pp
-There are several PCI boards available from both Alteon and other
-vendors that use the Tigon chipset under OEM contract.
-The
-.Nm
-driver has been tested with the following Tigon-based adapters:

While the Tigon chipset supports 10, 100 and 1000Mbps speeds, support for
10 and 100Mbps speeds is only available on boards with the proper
